Weather::Random

This gem provides a class WeatherRandom that uses the WeatherUnderground API to generate a seed for a "T"RNG.

Installation/Use

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'weather_random'

Or add this to your .rb file:

require 'weather_random'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install weather-random

Usage

Create an object instance of WeatherRandom::WeatherApi, and initalize it with a Wunderground URL for now - future versions will let you set up your own entropy generator. Note that the URL has to have the string #key where your key will go, else you'll get the WeatherRandom::ImproperApiURL exception.

# You can pick any city you like.
entropy_object = WeatherRandom::WeatherApi.new('http://api.wunderground.com/api/#key/conditions/q/CA/San_Francisco.json', <key_value>)
entropy_object.fetch_uri

r=Random.new(entropy_object.make_seed)
r.rand
